Is "A aligns with B" equivalent to "B aligns with A"?
I'm writing to express the similarity between the research directions of a professor and mine with "his research aligns with my project". I wonder if this is improper. Does it imply that my project is more important and provides a standard that the professor should "align with"? Should I say "my project aligns with his research" instead? ChatGPT told me the sentence is fine, and suggested using "his research resembles my project" if I want to be more neutral. Is that right? TIA

Please check me
I drink a cup of tomato juice mixed with little olive oil right after waking up from the bed. Then, I eat an apple with bowl of mixed nut and soy milk for my breakfast. I make this for my habbit because it makes me feel energetic whenever I follow this routine. So I will continue it ever after.
Is there anyone who can explain the meaning of the text in the picture?
I was browsing reddit and happened to come across this picture, but I'm not sure what "Garden mains in replies" means. Could someone explain? (It's related to an League of Legends, Arcane)
Looking for someone to teach English to
Hello, my name is Alexandr (18M). I recently took a position where I would be an English teacher and I don't have any experience in education or communicating concepts to someone in a language that they don't understand so I'd like to practice teaching someone English, preferably someone my age as the school that I would work for mainly teaches students. Thank you for reading.
Share your thoughts on my accent and help me with some tips to improve clarity!
Hello, I am going to preface this by saying that I am (clearly) a non-native speaker and, on top of that, I got a bit nervous while recording myself. You'll hear a few mistakes and whatnot, but hopefully the overall audio is clear enough for you to understand my speech. Ideally, I'd like to receive some tips to improve clarity, but also have a bit of fun and have you guess where I might be from. [https://voca.ro/1lfiUWo27XEA](https://voca.ro/1lfiUWo27XEA) Thanks!

Post Guidelines - How to get meaningful feedback
Hello all, This post is a general guide on what you can do as someone uploading clips of your speech to try and set yourself up for getting more and better feedback from the community. A lot of this comes from my personal opinions on the types of clips I like to give feedback to, as well as what I've seen people in the community say. **1. General information** Including general information in your post can help people give more tailored feedback. For example, what sort of accent are you trying to go for? What specific things do you struggle with? Why are you trying to improve your accent (for daily speech, a job, etc.)? **2. Audio quality** Not everyone has access to a good microphone or quiet environment. However, to the extent possible, try to limit background noise. One simple method is recording under a blanket or in a closet of some form. Also, I suggest testing out your volume before recording a full clip. I pass on reviewing many clips due to them being too quiet. **3. Clip length** As other users have suggested, please try to shoot for a clip \~30 seconds or more. I think the golden window is between 0:45 and 1:30, depending on the speaker. It's going to be hard to give meaningful feedback on a single sentence. **4. Transcriptions/texts** This is personally relevant for me when it comes to foreign languages that I am not as proficient in. Nevertheless, when reading from a text, please share the text you're reading from. It saves people from having to guess what you were trying to say, and just removes an extra layer of complications from giving feedback. ​ This is not a final list, and feel free to share your gripes/suggestions, and I can add them to the list above.
